Day Thirty-Three with Cancer

Day Thirty-Three with Cancer/Day Thirteen without Cancer:

Today was bittersweet.  We didn't go to church today since grandma and grandpa were finishing packing up their stuff.  We left pretty early and stopped by Sarah and Jeff's place.  We hung around for a while.  The boys were a little upset because I told them I didn't really want to play unless we could find a game where more people could participate.  We spoke a bit about what we were going to do when we got to Colorado and they showed the grandparents the cabin we'll be staying in.  They were digging on Sarah's ipad.

We set out for the airport.  The drive to Akron consisted of dad switching out his sunglasses multiple times to see which ones he liked better and counting the amount of dead deer on the side of the road.  Yeah...we're awesome that way.

When we got to the airport, we sat down at Subway and tried to figure out what we wanted for dinner.  Honestly, there wasn't a lot that I was able to eat, so I just ended up with their personal cheese pizza.  I can't say that it was very exciting, but it was "real" food.  Dad had me read a card on the sly that he was giving to grandma and grandpa.  He told them they weren't allowed to open it until after they got onto the plane.  I'm still surprised.  We finished and were standing near the security check area.  The ladies went to the restroom, but the guys and I waited outside.  Dad was holding onto the suitcases and one of them fell down.  It hit me in the hand and my drink went flying.  It exploded on the floor just as the ladies came out of the bathroom.  It was funny trying to explain what happened.  I was attacked by grandma's suitcase!  We said our goodbyes and watched them until we weren't able to see them anymore.  It's always hard to see them leave.  I often wonder how it makes mom feel when they go back home or when she leaves what used to be her home.  I can't imagine being away from my parents and siblings.  She's an amazingly strong woman.

We had to stop back in Mentor to pick up mom's car.  I was surprised when dad got in the other car.  I was thinking I'd ride with him, but why switch cars?  I'm glad I didn't.  Mom started falling asleep.  The first time I asked her if she was ok.  The second time I told her to pull over.  I ended up driving the rest of the way home.  I just kept thinking what might have happened if she was by herself.  Yikes.  No danke.

After I got home, I went with Chase and Jimmy to see Hangover 2.  It certainly was not my type of humor, but we've been trying to get together for almost a year now and I figured this may be one of the only times I get to see them.  Regardless of my movie preferences, we still had a good time.  They're good guys.  I got home right around midnight and finished off the evening with a bit of Angry Birds.  Pretty good day over all.
